Nokia X6 16GB - part 2 (software and summary)

Published by at

In part 1 of my Nokia X6 16GB review (that's the Nokia X6-00, officially), I looked at its hardware and general performance. In this second (and final) review part, I look at the X6-00's software and interface, before summing the device up. Is it just a 5800 upgrade? Or a stepping stone to newer devices like the Nokia N8? Most of all, who is the X6 aimed at and will it succeed?

From the review: "The system actually works very well, with the only caveat being that the event handling for swipes on the capacitive touchscreen doesn't seem to be fully optimised yet - remember that this is Nokia's first try at a device with capacitive touch and real world finger contacts have a very different 'pattern' than those executed by a stylus or fingernail on a resistive screen. The end result is that some swipes get missed - or at least misinterpreted. I'd hope that the code for handling gestures would be significantly tightened up for the next firmware update."
